House leaders mulling two version of cliff deal

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- House Republican leaders have decided on a process that may allow an up-or-down vote on the fiscal-cliff deal that has passed the Senate. Rep. Steven LaTourette, a Republican from Louisiana, said in an interview on CNN said Republican leaders will poll their members shortly on two versions of a cliff deal. One would amend the Senate bill and add spending cuts, while the second would be a clean version of the Senate plan. After the discussions and seeing which version has the most support, LaTourette said the leaders will decide which version to bring to a vote. LaTourette, who opposes the Senate bill, said he thinks that the House will ultimately vote on the clean bill. "We've been beaten this fight, I am very sad there are no spending reductions in the bill," LaTourette said.
